The Taliban militants have detonated explosives beneath a main bridge located on the highway in Nahr-e-Saraj district of Helmand in the South.

According to Helmand governor’s office, the Taliban insurgents, as part of their destructive and inhumane activities, detonated explosives beneath a main bridge in Mahajir Bazar of Nahr-e-Saraj district.

The source further adds that the explosion has partially damaged the bridge and at least seven improvised explosive devices were used in the destructive act.
